Mijn zoon (11) en ik hebben de gewoonte elkaar overdreven enthousiast te begroeten als we elkaar aan het eind van de dag weer zien.

WASHINGTON (ANP/RTR) - Het Amerikaanse Hooggerechtshof heeft geweigerd een door Republikeinen opgestelde kaart van kiesdistricten in Missouri te herstellen voorafgaand aan de tussentijdse verkiezingen ('midterms') in november. De Republikeinen hadden het hof daartoe verzocht.

Eerder had het hoogste hof in de staat bepaald dat een nieuwe kieskaart, die het kiesdistrict van een Democratische Afgevaardigde zou hebben geschrapt, alleen per referendum in november kan worden aangenomen - te laat dus voor de midterms.

De beslissing van het hof in Washington is een tegenslag voor president Donald Trump en voor de kansen van zijn partij om de krappe meerderheid van 219 Republikeinse tegen 214 Democratische zetels in het Huis van Afgevaardigden te behouden.

De Republikeinen in Missouri hadden de bestaande kieskaart veranderd als onderdeel van een breder, door Trump gesteund initiatief om kiesdistricten zo te hertekenen dat Republikeinse kandidaten daarvan zouden kunnen profiteren.

DEN HAAG (ANP) - De huidige toezichthouders op de AIVD en MIVD hebben scherpe kritiek op het kabinetsvoorstel om de inlichtingendiensten nieuwe bevoegdheden te geven en meer mogelijkheden om gegevens te verzamelen. Het voorstel is "niet in balans", oordelen de Commissie van Toezicht op de Inlichtingen- en Veiligheidsdiensten (CTIVD) en de Toetsingscommissie Inzet Bevoegdheden (TIB).

TIB-voorzitter Anne Mieke Zwaneveld zegt: "Als de bevoegdheden groter worden, moeten ook de bescherming en het toezicht worden versterkt. En dat gebeurt in het wetsvoorstel niet." Volgens CTIVD-voorzitter Hugo Hillenaar "moeten we niet vergeten wát we willen beschermen: onze democratische rechtsstaat. Daarom is het belangrijk dat de democratische rechtsorde door de herziening van de wet niet zelf in de gevarenzone komt".

Beide onafhankelijke commissies hebben vragen bij de noodzakelijkheid en proportionaliteit van onderdelen van het voorstel. "Onder meer over de brede mogelijkheden voor het onderzoeken van tegenstanders, nieuwe algemene bevoegdheden, de verwerking van bulkgegevens, verplichte gegevensverstrekking door derden en het gebruik van automatisering, zoals AI."

Ook worden volgens de CTIVD en TIB de onafhankelijke externe toetsing en het toezicht door het voorstel verminderd. Een nieuw onafhankelijk orgaan (het College van Toetsing en Toezicht) moet toezicht gaan houden op de AIVD en MIVD. Die krijgt echter te weinig budget en mensen in het voorstel toebedeeld, menen de huidige toezichthouders.

Met de nieuwe wet wordt het mogelijk om in "buitengewone omstandigheden" het staatsnoodrecht toe te passen. Daar moet het parlement dan wel mee akkoord gaan. Ook hierover zijn de toezichthouders kritisch. De ruime formulering brengt "onduidelijkheid en onvoorspelbaarheid in de toepassing met zich mee".

Volgens het minderheidskabinet is de nieuwe wet noodzakelijk, omdat er nieuwe en complexere dreigingen vanuit Rusland en China zijn en vanwege technologische ontwikkelingen. De diensten moeten door het voorstel straks sneller en wendbaarder kunnen handelen. Verder kunnen ze makkelijker samenwerken met andere overheden en bedrijven en kunnen ze meer inlichtingen opvragen.

In de Tweede Kamer klinken ook zorgen over de nieuwe wetgeving, onder meer over het toezicht en het staatsnoodrecht. Eerder zei minister Dilan Yeşilgöz (Defensie, VVD) dat het toezicht in het nieuwe voorstel "robuust" is. Belanghebbenden kunnen nu reageren op het wetsvoorstel, waarna het kabinet kijkt of het aangepast moet worden.

Meta has launched Muse, a personal AI agent developed under chief AI officer Alexandr Wang. "The product, long in development, was touted as a key next step by CEO Mark Zuckerberg in his recent 6,500-word manifesto," reports Axios. From the report: Muse, as the agent is known, exists in a chat interface, similar to a text thread. It's designed to be more proactive and long-running than typical chatbots. Users can name their agent, create an avatar and customize how it communicates. The Muse agent runs on a dedicated virtual machine in Meta's cloud, using a built-in browser that's visible to the user.

Meta is offering a free tier of Muse, as well as two subscription options, at $20 per month and $100 per month. "For the vast majority of users, they should be able to do what they need to within the free tier," Wang told Axios. "But for real power users, you know, those subscription tiers help us cover the computer costs." There is no advertising within Muse, but Wang said the company is exploring commerce opportunities that could generate additional revenue. Initially Muse will be available in the U.S. and works on iOS, Android and the web, with support coming soon for Meta's AI glasses. "The full vision in the future is we want to develop personal superintelligence that helps people accomplish their goals, pursue their passions, build things that they never would have built if they didn't have the technology," Wang told Axios.

Meta offers users more privacy controls with Muse than in its previous AI products, including the option to prevent queries from being used by Meta and a planned confidential mode where the company cannot see activity inside a user's virtual workspace. There's also an entirely separate system called Sentinel that governs Muse's access to the internet and connected services.

Australia is proposing the "My Feed, My Way" initiative that would force social media platforms to let users over 16 turn off algorithmic recommendations and instead see only posts from people and creators they follow. Platforms that fail to comply could face fines of up to $79 million. CNBC reports: The legislation, which is being drafted and released Tuesday for targeted consultation, would require platforms to send notifications to new and existing users so they can choose their default feed. [...] The measures, set to be introduced to the Parliament of Australia this year, will also require AI chatbots, online games and other digital services to take action to protect under-18s from addictive design features. "This is not about giving government control. It's about giving people control. It's about putting choice back into the hands of Australians online," said Prime Minister Anthony at a press conference on Tuesday.

"This is sensible, pragmatic, practical reform. It gives users choice, and it will hold the big tech companies responsible for inaction."

Rise in fatalities comes amid news reports that the average age of Burning Man attendees is increasing

Three men over 50 died at Burning Man this year, tripling the average number of deaths in connection with the annual festival that brings tens of thousands of people to build a temporary utopian community in the brutal conditions of the Nevada desert.

The increase in fatalities comes as news reports have highlighted that the average age of Burning Man attendees is increasing, with fewer participants in their 20s, and more in their 40s and 50s.

Officials say sighting a sign species – driven to extinction in state before reintroduction in 2011 – expanding its range

A gray wolf has recently been seen in California’s Mendocino national forest for the first time since the species returned to the state 15 years ago, state wildlife officials confirmed.

Officials in Lake county, which is about two hours north of San Francisco, said last week the California department of fish and wildlife (CDFW) had received reports of sightings in the forest in late August. The agency verified the presence of a wolf in the far north end of the county, county supervisor Brad Rasmussen said in a statement on social media.

• Saudi investors stopped backing LIV this year

• Rahm and DeChambeau may still be involved

LIV Golf, the breakaway tour that spent billions luring top players away from the PGA Tour, has filed for bankruptcy protection in the US, it announced on Tuesday.

Launched in 2022, free-spending LIV caused shockwaves and bitter divisions in the golf world, before losing the backing of its deep-pocketed Saudi investors this year, prompting a scramble to stay afloat.

LG TVs Caught Spying Even When Offline or On Standby from the Verge by way of /. A Gamers Nexus investigation found that LG smart TVs are almost constantly logging and uploading data about owners and their homes, even while they are offline or in standby mode. "The company's TV sets scan Wi-Fi networks for nearby devices, record audio logs through their microphones, and use audio and video sampling to recognize exactly what you're watching from across the TV inputs," reports The Verge.

Gamers Nexus partnered with fellow YouTubers Level1Techs and independent security researchers for the investigation, which involved testing retail LG OLEDs. Packet captures showed the TVs scanning the local area network for nearby hardware like phones or smartwatches, as well as logging location data and details of nearby Wi-Fi networks, and feeding the information back to LG Ad Solutions. Perhaps more concerningly, the TVs were capable of recording microphone audio when in standby; this continued even after the TV was disconnected from the internet, with audio files stored offline and uploaded once a connection was restored. Previously: Earlier this year, LG was found to be silently installing an adware-like app on Windows PCs that ran pop-up ads for other LG apps and even McAfee antivirus. https://hackread.com/lg-monitors-install-adware-app-windows-pcs/

LLMs finally kick ass and do something unexpected! Oh wait, hang on a minute... "NYU mathematics professor Tristan Buckmaster announced three proofs on Tuesday with a preliminary finding on one of the major unsolved problems in theoretical mathematics. The findings, made in collaboration with Anthropic mathematician Levent Alpöge and using both Codex and Claude AI models, are significant in themselves — but they're also accompanied by an unusual controversy surrounding OpenAI's attempts to solve the same problem." - OpenAI fought dirty on career-making math problem, says NYU mathematician (Techcrunch)

"I would like to be clear about what I am not claiming. I have not seen OpenAI's proof. I do not know what their model did, or how. I do not know whether our data was used. I am not accusing anyone of anything. I am stating what I was told, when, and what was proposed to me. I am stating it because the alternative is to let a sequence of announcements say something I know to be false. If indeed an OpenAI model did close the gap to Navier-Stokes, that is a remarkable thing and it should be said loudly, by them, with the history intact. I would much rather be talking about mathematics, Luis and Diego's ideas, and what this all means for the rest of us. Lastly, I would like to thank the entire mathematics community that have been so supportive of me over the last 24 hours." - PDF, full statement from NYU Professor Tristan Buckmaster. "We're sharing a solution to the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of the Millennium Prize Problems. This proof, produced by an internal OpenAI system, shows that the dynamics of the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid motion can develop a singularity in finite time. We're sharing both a writeup of the proof and a formalization in Lean." - On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, statement from OpenAI "OpenAI said today that it has found an AI-generated solution to one of the biggest problems in mathematics—a 200-year-old equation that describes the natural behavior of fluids like water and air. But it has been marred by claims from another mathematician, Tristan Buckmaster, who says that OpenAI rushed ahead to solve the problem after learning of the work of Buckmaster and a colleague—Anthropic researcher Levent Alpöge. Buckmaster claims OpenAI also tried to influence who got credit for the work." - OpenAI Just Claimed a Huge Math Discovery. Some Academics Are Crying Foul, Wired Some information on Navier-Stokes.
